of bullion, Including troth silver and gold, in the Bank, and this was not the state on any one day, but on the quarterly balance; and when the Right tfoncurable Gentleman bore In mind the situ ation in selllch he was at that time he (Mr. Hume) was sure that he woutet not think that he had reposed on abd of roses. At that time the circulation of the Bank was 32,000,0001., or, rather, including cir culation and deposits, it was 32,333,0004 ; and includin the Exche quer bills there were 31,260,0001. in paper out, to meet whieh there were but four millions of Bullion ; and in addition to this the Jemmies in the Savings' Banee semi nied to eighteen or nineteen millions, which might have been calledup at any' time; so that if there had been a panic, the Bank met the Government would have been pieced in a situ. ation in which he would be sorry to see a Government or a ;,setting establishment at any time. They were going on a ,eaten Of from hand to mouth. and There was nothing permai2- meit or safe in the state of the finances of the country; each ( .."eancellor of the Exchequer scented to rest satisfied if he manasee to pass through hie own time, regardless of the risk he might wee, or the dangers of his successors. He (Mr. Hume) thought that the House ought not to be satisfied to meet the deficiency in the revenue by adopting the plan proposed by the Right Hon. Gentle man. The Right Hon. Gentleman had indeed showed the difference which had taken place between the last year and the preceding, but he had omitted to show the reduction of two millions in the amount of mo. net, in the Exchequer, so that there would be an actual increased difference agzinst the country of 2476,0001. He thought therefore, that the finances in the country were not in such a condition as that the House should favourably receive the proposal of the Right Hon. Gentleman. He (Mr. Hume) called upon him to reduce the expenditure of the army, the navy, and the ord nance, which had been increased 1,400,000/. and upwards since the year 1533 ; and if the resolution then before the House were intended to provide for the deficiency he should have opposed it, and whenever the time came to move the vote he would certainly take the sense of the House against it ; and when the Right Hon. Gentleman told the Heuse that there were only two ways of meeting the deficiency—first, if it were permanent, by an increase of the funded debt, and, if it were only temporary, then by an advance upon the credit of Exchequer bills —he thought that, as there had been a great excess of expenditure during the last three years over what had previously been, it behoved the House not to add to the public debt, but to reduce the expen diture of the 'country, and thus to provide the means which the Right Hon. Gentleman required of keeping the expenditure within the income. For himself, he would oppose the increase of the debt in ever y way, and would endeavour to compel the Government to pursue that course of economy and retrenchment to which they were pledged, and to which they had not for the last three years sufficiently attended. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said although the Hon. Gentleman who had resumed his seat had not entered fully into the subject of Exchequer bills, he (Mr. Williams) would show that a large sum of money might I have been and ought to have been saved by a reduction in the rate of in terest which they bore. When the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chan cellor of the Exchequer a few nights since, at a very late hour, mom d a vote of 24,000,0001. to cover the Exchequer bills out, he (Mr. Wil liams) had asked at what rate of interest they were to be issued ? and was astonished to hear in reply that they were to bear interest at two pence per day, or at the animal rate of 3/. Os. 10d. per cent. Ard the Right Hon. Gentleman had imputed rashness to him in the statement which he (Mr. Williams) had then made as to the rate at which money could be borrowed. He had not stated that money was not worth more than 2 per cent. for any period; but what he had stated was that it was not worth more than 21 per cent. on ordinary securities, and that it might be borrowed for a short term at 2 per cent. Since that night he heed been informed by persons well versed in mercantile affeirs that any sum might be raised on ordinary security at ei per cent., anti that it might be procured at 2 per cent. for short periods almost to any amount. He had then expressed, as he did now express, surprise that the public credit of the country should be in a lcwer state than that of ordinary indi viduals, and especially that it should be lower than the credit of the East India Company, but he found that such was not the fat; for if they looked at the price of Exchequer bills bearing only 3 per cent. interest, it would be found that the premium upon them amounted to 3i per cent or more than the whole twelve menths' interest.—(Hear.) If ' floweve , he had not expressed it before, he had expected thal . the Right Hon. Gentleman would have now stated his regret the advancr in the rate of Interest, and he (Mr. Williams) Wes . sorry that he had not so, done. The Right Hon Gentleman's atf.crimetii.• also differed from his, for the Right Hon. Gentleman had stated the loss to the country t'etween the interest of let. and 2 T e e per dog to hare amounted only to 396,0001., whereas, accordirtk to his (Mr. Williams's) arithmetic, the loss was as much as 547,0001. The calculation was easy, the time was for six rmar ters, the amount twenty-four millions and upwards. Perhaps the Right Hon. Gentleman would took at his figures again, and settle the diffe rence ; but he (Mr. Williams) stated again, that the advance of the rate of interest on Exchequer bills, made on the 21st of November, 1835, had made a difference to the country of not less than 547,0001. The rate of interest had been raised in 1825, hut what was the state of the country when the Right Honourable Gestleman opposite raised the rate of interest from lid. to 2d. a day? This was clone on the 19th of December, 1825, at the very commencement of the panic ; but Exchequer bills, in lass than a fortnight from that time, were at a discount of 83 : the premium was by no means increased. Yet the Exchequer bills in 18:15 had not decreased in value to a discount before the Right Hon. Gentleman had increased their rate to 2d., and afterwards to 20. The question, however, was, at what rate of interest could the Chancellor of the Exchequer now raise the necessary money on Exchequer bills ? For six years the rate of interest had been only 21 per cent., and yet the Right Hon. Gentleman had advanced it to 3 per cent. He (Mr. Williams) said that there was no necessity for that advance, for if the Right Hon. Gentleman had r illy propose] a large funding of Exchequer bills, he would have prevented all inconvenience ; and even without this they never bore a rate of premium so low at any time as to answer the purpose of any party to pay them in for taxes. — (Hear, hear.) No interest was allowed en the time unexpired after they were paid in ; they never came down so low as to make it worth any one's purpose to pay them in ; Lot suppose that had not been the fact, even then a proposal for feuding them would have prevented the neces sity of raising the rate cf interest. The Exchequer bills bearing an interest of ed. a day were now at a pren.;,am which amounts,' to 31 per cent., or mere than one-half per cent. more than the whole interest upon them. And yet the Right Hon. Gentleman said that he could not borrow the .neney upon the same terms as it had been borrowed during the last six years. Why, there never had been a period when money was so ab:mdant, so easily raised, and so plentiful I as at the present time. This was not only shown by the rate of premium on the Exchequer Bills, but the East India Bondi only bore an interest of 31. per cent., and yet at what a premium were they ? Why, at a premium of upwards of 80s., so that people were actually offering a year and a quarter's interest for the purpose of getting possession of bonds bearing an interest of three per cent. He believed there was not an individual in the country would agree in the opinion of the propriety of tile course pursued by the Right lion. Gentleman. The Right Hon. Gentleman had asked him (Mr. Williams) what proof therewas that the money cored be borrowed at so cheap a rate, when the Consols were only at a little mo: e than three per cent. ? He was astonished that any gentleman should have asked such a question, and still more astonished wes he that such a question should have proceeded from the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Die not the Right Hen. Gentleman know the difference between an Exchequer Bill, which was paid in full under any circumstances (Hear, hear)—and Consols, which, though now at 94, might fall any day and occasion a great loss. In 1823 they were at 941 a but they came down quickly to 771, so that a person buying in at the highest time, and selling out at the lowest, would have suffered a loss of nearly 20 per cent. And this was why Exchequer Bills might, always bear a lower rate of interest, because there was less rr and the principal was sure always to be paid in full. If they 10 :,Ked at the rate of interest on Ex_ chequer Bills for a course of ten years, except during a short interval, it had only been 2,-k per cenm, end although the intere,t in the funds might have been 3e per cene e yet one security was at least as valuable as the other. Now tte interest on the Exchequer Bills was nearly equal to that on the Ponsols, and he would ask whether, with reference to the state of the finances of .the country, this was proper ? During the last fifteen months the Right Honourable Gentleman had even ene_half per cent. more for Exchequer-bill interest than he need have given in the funds; and if the country was losing by the unfunded debt, why did he not fund it ? There never could be a better time. Now, however, he was suffering a loss of the public money ; and if he would only issue advertisements for ten hers for Exchequer Bills at I led. inte rest, he (Mr. Williams) was sure that the tenders would be soon trade to as large an amount as the Right Honourable Gentleman might require.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Why, then, should the public , lose so large an amount by the interest ? He could see no rea son for the advance which had taken place except that there might be a connection between the Treasury and the Bank. The Bank was in distress—it wanted to dispose of a large amount of Exchequer bills, and to prevent toss by the sale the Right Hon. Gentleman came forward and advanced the interest. The consequence was, that in a short time the premium rose to 30s.—as much as the advance which had been made—a sure proof that the money was thrown away. The other evening he (Mr. Williams) had stated that the cause of the great pressure on the money market in 1836 and 1837 was produced by the transactions between the Treasury and the Bank relating to the West India loans. The Right Hon. Gentleman had challenged him to prove the fact. He was now reedy to prove it, but as his Honourable Friend (Mr. Hume) was to bring the question before the House, he would not then enter upon the question. Ile hoped, however, that the House would not sanction such a waste of the public money, and he called upon them, as the representa tives of the people, to eie their duty in that House, and to interpose between the country and the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Excherpter. If any gentleman well versed in commercial affairs would state in the House that the money could not be raised at the lower rate of interest, he (Mr. Williams) would admit that he was in error. He was sure, however, that no one would make such a state ment ; and, therefore, he hoped that the House would not permit a greater expenditure of the public funds by the Government than was absolutely necessary, or there would appear to be required to be laid out in the case of any ordinary individual. Too much power had already been placed in the hands of the Treasury, and he was really of opinion that a question of such importance as that to which he was now referring ought not to be left to the sole diseretion of the Treasury Board ; but he must express his belief, that the reference of the question to a Committee of this House was necessary for the purpose of securing the public from unnecessary and wasteful expenditure. Such was the course pursued by the Chamber of Deputies in Paris at every session, and he was convinced that the adoption of a similar proceeding would be at. tended with the greatest benefit. So certain, indeed, was he of this, that he should feel it to be his duty at an early part of the next session of Parliament to move that such a Committee should be appointed, in order that they might exercise a control over the cash transactions of the Treasury, and in order that they might investigate the expenditure of the public money under the Appropriation Act. In conclusion, he must again express a hope that the House would interpose its authority be tween the Right Hon, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the people, to prevent a waste of the public money, and he must repeat his con viction teat such an effect might be produced by the adoption of a suggestion which he had already thrown out for the reduction of the rate of interest from 2d. to 1 } r d. Mr. GOULBURN said that it was not his intention to make many observations on this subject, which was se important to the interests of the country ; but, nevertheless, as this was one of the few occasions on Which an opportunity was afforded to Members of that House to express their opinions on the subject of the financial affairs of the empire, he felt himself called on to say a few words in reference to it. He must say that the very short address which he had proposed to make to the House would be very much decreased in length by what had fallen from the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down, because in respect of much that he had said in reference to the funded property of the country he entirely concurred. At the same time, however, that he made this ad mission, he could not concur in the observation of that Hon. Gentle man that any control ought to be exercised by a Committee of the House in the manner suggested by him over the financial transactions of the Treasury. The view taken by the Hon. Gentleman was not eel... . - tainly one in which he coincided, because he felt that it was due from those who took no interest in the matter to call the attention of the House to it—(Hear, hear)—and this course was not only called for at the hands of those officers in whose care the finances of the coun try were placed, but also by that respect to which the llous, was en. titled.—(Hear, hear.) He must say also that he certainly did not agree with the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Kilkenny in the statement which he had this evening again repeated with respect to the real causes of the embarrassment of the country. The exertions made by the Hon. Gentleman were always most laudable, but he must disagree with him In the rule which he had endeavoured to impress on the Hons,, that the only resl means of conducting the affairs of the country was to continue in obtaining the greatest possible reduction in the expenditure of the Government.—(Hear, hear.) Now, it was doubtless always expedient and necessary to make such reductions as were compatible with the state of the country and with economy—(Hear)—but his (Mr. Goulburn's) ob ject had always been to impress on the House, what appeared to have been forgotten by the lion. Gent., that real economy did not consist in a niggardly reduction of the ottcial establishment, so much as in the careful husbanding of the means of the country; and that although there was the greatest expediency in endeavouring to procure a reduc tion of the debt which rested so heavily on the country, yet the course which was the most advisable to pursue was such as should be best cal. eulated to keep the resources of the country in such a state of elasticity hat they might speedily recover the effect of any sudden shock which hey might sustain. The truth of this argument was expressly affirmed ay the statement made by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of he Exchequer. For what said he? He said that there had been an ex. aense of one million incurred, in order that the necessary means might >e afforded for putting down the insurrection in Canada. He would only ask any Honourable Member, who had at all looked into transactions accompanying that revolt, into ta ...a ettaets and cireurn stances attending which it a., aria necessary her the great for him to go, whe t s proportion of this expenditure might slot baize been saved if there had been a limbed augmentation of tlie establishment, se which the teritintianCe of the existing tranquillity' of the country night Gave been 'secured—an augmentation which might have been supported at the comparatively trifliag cost of 20,00C1. or 30,0001. —and whether, therefore, instead of the extravagant outlay alluded to by the Honourable Member, a positive saving would nest have been effected ?—(Hear, hear.) He i - ould not, however, pursue this part of the subject ally farther, because it would more properly come under dis cussion when the vote which was hereafter to be proposed should come under consideration—(Hear, hear)—for he was firmly of opinion that ,ugh matters best met with the attention of the House in moments of ealm and temperate inquiry, rather than at times when the debate was of an opposite character. He was anxious to impress on the House, aowever, that real economy consisted in keeping the public debt in such a state as that it was capable of being easily managed, and he had to romp'ain that under the administration of the financial affairs of this country of the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite there was far from having been any reduction of that debt, but that, on the con. trary, the alteration which had taken place in it was an increase in its amount; and he was prepared to say that the augmentation was such as to have led to the difficulties in which the Right Honourable Gentleman found himself placed, and which, if a due degree of watchful care were not taken, might eventually lead to conse quences to the country of a most alarming nature. With respect to the public debt, if its present total amount were compared with its amount in the year 1831 and the year 1836, it would be found that there had been an augmentation of the capital er funded debt; and if the total charges of the debt at the same periods were compared a similar result would be discovered. This was the case at the time of peace and of plenty, and of unusual and boasted prosperity; and this, too, when there were no evils of a commercial nature to be complained of, and when, therefore, if at an, time, one would have imagined that the debt could have been reduced. It was not of this alone, however, that he had to complain, but he complained on another ground. The House would remember, and the Hon. Member for Kilkenny he was sure would remember, that in 1825, the principles on which the Sinking Fund was supported were stated by the Honourable Member to be rested on a fallacy, and was declared by the House to be of an objectionatile nature. In, order to keep up that fund, specific sums were applied to the re. duction of the public debt, while, on the other hand, another debt was created at. the same time, equal and sometimes even greater than the amount paid off. In 1828 it was declared by Parliament that this system should cease; and in 1829 it was laid down as a rule for the conduct of these who should afterwards have the government of the financial affairs of the country that the surplus of the public funds should be clearly and positively stated every year; and that no debt should be incurred on the one hand merely for the purpose of paying off another, in order that the pub'ic and the country might really know what was the amount of the surehts in the hands of the Government. Now, under the operation of this law, during the period that the Right Honourable Gentleman had been in office, he had been guilty of a violation of its principles, end hail produced to the public a false account—he did not mean false as conveying any imputation on him, but an erroneous account of what had been the surplus, and an equally erroneous account as to what was applicable to the payment of any deficiency which might appear. Under the Bill of 1829 it was de. Glared that whatever raal surplus might arise after the revenue expen. dituTe should appliea to the red= ion of the debt, and provision was maaa '• 'mat it might be applied to reduction of the amount of Exchequer Bills, and in the absence of that to the purchase of deficiency bills. He did not object to this latter course, because occasions might arise when the greatest and most important interests of the coun try might depend on the necessity of so applying part of the funds, and it was the intention of Parliament that they should be so applied ; but yet it was found that during the last three years what had been stated as the surplus revenue had been applied to the reduction of deficiency Bills, The Honourable Member for Kilkenny hail sal I that there were perhaps same Members in the House, who were not acquainted with the exact character of deficiency Bills, and he would just explain to the House the effect of the mode of applying the public funds to meet them. It was known that the Government was bound on each quarter.day, to provide the amount necessary for the payment of the dividends on the Consolidated Fund. The course firmerly adopted was that the re venue was permitted to accumulate duri , g the whole quarter in the hands of the Bank until quarter-day, where it was required to be paid. This, it was found, was attended with loss, and therefore it was deter mined to apply the public money as it came in to general purposes, with. out allowing it to accumulate, and at the quarter the deficiency Bills were issued, when the required amount of money was not at the Bank, for the security for the payment of the debt necessarily incurred with the Bank for the payment of the funds advanced, and it was proposed that these bills should be paid during the ensuing quarter. If, there fore, it was stated that there was a surplus revenue of a million, and the public were led to believe that it vas an actual surplus, and if five, sia, or seven hundred thousand pounds were applied to the payment of these bills on the one hand, or of the public debt on the other. what was it but the very fault intended to be remedied and prevented by Par liament in the Act of 1829, and did not the Government lead the public to entertain erroneous views in reference to the revenue ? (rear, hear.) Yet this was the practice adopted, and it was against this that he most strenuously protested. With regard to the unfunded debt, he might almost repeat what he had said before; and he must say that it was a subject which had been the source o; considerable anxiety an] attention. The Hon. Member opposite had stated in his speech that tire arneunt of Exchequer Bills was very considerably: reduced, the re-- duction lacing four millions; and be had stated that the extent of the issue of them did not exceed that cf 1827, and he therefore infer re I that the amount was not greater than was required by the state of the market. This evidence would be conclusive if it had not been met by other parts of the statement of the same Honctirable ars maer ; but these, as well as the obs_rvations of the Honourable Member for Coventry, whose autho rity and experience on the subject every one must respect, completely oversee his inferences. The Right Honourable Gentleman him self, however, in endeavouring to maintain that the amount was not greater than was required, said that the public property was interested, and that if he did not maintain the interest at more than the rate of 3 li.tr cent., the persons who otherwise would be disposed to purchase Exchequer Bills would be induced to embark in those wild speculations at present going abroad, and would probably so far involve themselves as materially to suffer by their adopting stmh a course. But this was alto gether fallacious; and, if it were not, was the principle one on which the Government should proceed ? It wa.s fallacious because the Right lion. Gentleman imagined that the public and the individual who was the purchaser cf the bills received the interest paid ay Government. But it was not the fact that if the Government paid three per cent. on Ex chequer Bills, these parties -would receive it, for there would be found alenty of persons who were willing to take them at 72s.—(Hear)--and the principle, therefore, was to reduce the interest to the rate paid in the market, so that if it were proposed to raise money on Exchequer aids at five per cent. it would have no edict, for the public would pay the full per center, while the individual who bought the bills would :slake no more than by any ordinary sperntation. The argument, therefore, was a fallacy, for Vie payment of Exchequer bills did not de. :rend on the amount of interest paid, but on the state of the money .narlset.—(Hear, hear.) If, however, it were 'true, as it was stated, !iy the Right Hon. Gentleman, in what situation did the admission lace the Government ? No dependence was to be placed on all those aalinary means by which the Gc vernment had hitherto been in the habit of raising money. No attempt was to be made by the Govern. rent to avail itself' of the additional security which its name would af- Ord, nor was it to avail itself of the high credit which the Govern ment had invariably supported by its uniform good faith ; but they were to go tc market precisely on the same footing as f they were speculators without any such means as those he had suggested to support them. This was a plan which must soon utterly fail and break down, attended as it was with the ;realest difficulties and inconveniences, and calculated as it was it involve the Government in principles which were altogether false.—(Hear.) But the Right Hon. Gentleman said that he must seep Exchequer Bibs to meet the demand ; and this he was prepared to .admit ; but at the same time he must do so taking due care that the amount should not exceed the demand, and in considering this he must look not at the numerical amount of Exchequer Bills alone, but at all the other circumstances of the country, and he must take care not to add to the natural difficulties which the system must create if it should itot be kept within proper bounds. He was prepared to contend that if the Right Hon. Gentleman had attended to the reduction of the un aunded debt, he would not have been in the position of being obliged to raise the rate of interest; but at the same time, situated as the Right ' lion. Gentleman found himself, he had no hesitation in admitting that he was right in the step he took in that respect. It was true, that the Exchequer Bills were not now higher than they were in 1827, but were the public now in the situation as they were then ? They must consider the Exchequer Bills as payable on the demand of the party holding them, and they must recollect too that the Government had not only the difficulty of being compelled to provide for the payment of them at ordinary times, but also that they could not when any sudden call was likely to be made avail themselves of the issue of an Additional 500,0001. or 1,000,000/. to meet the casual want. It was not then the numerical amount which was to be considered, but all the other circumstances which might tend to increase the danger in case of any sudden emergency; and he would tell the Right Honourable Gentle. man that there had been a great alteration in the circumstances of the country in this respect. In 1827, when Mr. Canning had only twenty four millions of Exchequer bills, and proposed to raise three millions more, what was the amount of deposits in savings' banks ? There were no deposits. What was it now? Twenty millions—(Hear, hear)—so that if there should be any sudden want—if there should be a bad har. vest, with which, thank God, this country had not been afflicted for some years, but which, nevertheless, might occur sooner than was ex oected—or if there should be any other cause by which the people would be compelled to fall back on their own resources, how were their demands to be supplied if there should be a sudden call for their deposits, such as had bean made in France some time ago ? Government would not only have to meet these demands, but they would also hive to meet them under the additional difficulty of their having no funds at their disposal but stock—(Hear) —which they would be compelled to sell at 60 or 70, having purchased it at 93 or 94. —(Hear, bear.) He was not calling on the House to reduce the amount of the interest pa'd, hut he was simply doing all he could to put the case to the House of the poor being compelled to rent on their own resources, and of all adventitious aid being withdrawn from the Government, and their being left to meet the demand which would be made upon them, and which they would have to meet from their own resources; but he said that the House was bound to protect the country against the risk which would be run, and from the danger to which the public would be exposed in the event of the present system being allowed to continue.— ;Hear.) He had already said more than he had intended, and he re grettest having so long occupied the attention of the House ;—(Hear) but he was really anxious to point out to the Hc,use the apprehensions which he felt, because at the moment of calamity or difficulty, it was difficult to reflect on the dangers which might be produced by the continuance of a system so bad in its details, while it was easy to tnake provisions for the future, when the evils which might fallow were foreseen ; and when he made this statement to the House he did so declaring that he should take an early opportunity of submitting to the consideration of the House the real state of the debt of the country, and he sincerely trusted that some measure might be adopted by which, in case of difficulty, whether it arose in consequence of a bad harvest, or of a foreign war, or a revolt in the Colonies, or any of those other calamities the nature of which prevented their being an. ticipated, the resources of this mighty empire might be immediately applied without difficulty, and without producing any of those concur. sions or disturbances which were so much to be regretted.—(Hear.) Mr. 31. ATT WOOD rose to address the House, but was almost in audible. He said, however, that there could be no doubt that the Government were right in raising the amount of interest on Exchequer Bills, but, at the same time, they were not justified in taking such a course merely in consequence of the temporary fluctuations of the looney market ; and it was their duty before they took any such step to wait until the market should be settled, mid Until some definite opi. nion could be formed in reference to the average amount of interest to be demanded. Mr. GILLON felt that the debate had been carried on on too narrow a basis, as the discussion had almost entirely been confined to the rate of interest on Exchequer Bills; but there were many other grave topics which, on taking a review of the financial state of the year, it was necessary to reurd with attention. He trusted that those disasters which the lion. Member for Whitehavon said would befal the country would be found to be fallacies, and that those anticipations which the Itight Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer had expressed with r,gard to the future prospects of the revenue would be realised ; and he had heard the grounds which he had given for such inferences with great satisfaction. He thought that in the present circumstance of a detal. cation in the revenue, it was necessary that the Chancellor of the Ex. chequer should pay the greatest attention to the finaneial Cir. curnstances of the country. He lied heard with regret that tbere was to be no reduction ha the taxes of the country; but he (Mr. Gillon) .was convinced that by changing the mode of levying many of the taxes a considerable increase of revenue would be obtained, and ta•-• , great relief would be afforded to the country. This was particularly the case in the Excise department, where from 600,0001. to 700,0001. a year might at once be obtained by adopting the enggestions of the Commissioners Of revenue inquiry: He was con. vinced that by reducing the soap duties one-half they would get more than the present amount of revenue, and at the same time considerable relief would be afforded to the public and manufacturer, and it would put down the illicit manufacture. Again, in the Customs, by altering the duties on timber, more than 1,000,0001. a year might be brought into the Treasury, and in addition td this commerce would be benefited, and the public would be gainers by obtaining a better article than they did at present, at a cheaper rate. The greatest advantages would also be bestowed on the commercial and manufacturing interests of the country by getting rid of the corn laws ; and this might be managed in a way so as to be highly productive to the revenue. Mr. HUTT could not let the present discussion close without making a few observations, as he felt a deep interest in one or two matters that had been adverted to. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had informed the House that the country bad no surplus revenue, and that he there fore could propose no reduction of taxation. This, he was sure, was a statement which could not be satisfactory to the country, but it was a matter of necessity which there was no resisting ; it was one of those vicissitudes to which a commercial country was exposed, and which wag not chargeable On eithet the Government or the Legislat tar e. He could not help feeling, however, that some degree of censure WaS justly due tei the Government and the Legislature, for there had been an evident in. disposition on the part of both to inquire into those causes which had so often paralyzed the commercial transactions of a country. When his Hon. Friend the Member for the Tower Hamlets moved for an inquiry into the joint stock banks, the Meta Hon. Gentleman as well as the leading Members on both sides of the House, resisted the motion to inquire into the proceedings of the Bank of England as re. girded their mode of dealing with the circulating medium.—(Hear, hear.) It was the opinion of Mr. Thomas Tooke and others of the most enlighted men lo the country, that the power the Bank of England had of expanding or contracting the revenue of thecountry was one of the main causes of the crisis it had experienced. This was a matter of great importance, and required the most serious consideration ; but it was one that the Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to take into his serious consideration. Hedid not be. Ileve that Gentlemen Opposite were _satisfied that the monetary system of the country was in a sound state. This was evident from the effects that the proceedings of General Jackson in the United States had in our financial proceedings ; fer it caused such a run on the Bank of England that it reduced the amount of the precious metals in its coffers to about four millions ; and if the run had gone on but a short time longer, it Would have caused a panic, and no doubt would have led to a commer. cial crisis, attendant with all its evil consequences. On this subject Mr. Tooke made some pointed observations, and dwelt upon the injudicious proceedings of the Bank of England Looking to the speculative cie rector of the country at the present moment, he asked whether it was hot one which should be retarded with great alarm ? He therefore en treated the Chancellor of the Exchequer narrowly to watch the pro ceedings of the Bank. Colonel SIBTHORP remarked, that the deficiency its the amount of the revenue was greater than it had ever been before, and he was con. vinced that it was considerably more than two millions. The Right Hon. Gentleman went back to a former period ; but what had they then to do with the proceedings of former Chancellors of the Exchequer ? He referred to what he called a similar deficiency in the time of Mr. Canning; but he might as well have gone back to the days of Noah, if there was such a person as the Chancellor of the Exchequer in those days, and he (Colonel Sibthorp) really did not know whether there was or was not.—(A laugh.) lie had never seen a Chancellor of the Ex chequer rise with a more pallid countenance than the Right Hon. Gen tleman bore when he got up to address the House ; indeed he appeared the very picture of despair.—(Laughter.) He would tell tile Right Hon. Gentleman that he had not the slightest confidence in him nor in any of her Majesty's Ministers : -and he would at once tell them that the most prudent and manly course they could pursue would be to walk ou t of the House and their places at the same time, so as to allow thorn, t o be occupied by those who were better able to rule the destinies of thi ° greatcountry.—(Laughter.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not surprised at the recommendation of the Hon. and Gallant Colonel, after the attacks which had so often been made on himself end colleagues. After the lengthened statement he hed made in the first instance, he felt some apology was due for again trespassing on the attention of the House ; but he hoped that he should be allowed to make a few remarks in reply to the statements that had been made in the course of the debate. The Hon. Member for Coventry said that the additional expense of Exche quer bills for tee six quarters had been 540,0001.; but he would, in the course of the evening, lay returns on the table from which it would appear that the exact amount of the expense incurred was 396,0001. In the statement that he had made on this part of the subject, the Right lion. Gentleman had also forgotten to mention that the East India Company had received notice from the Bank of its paying off one-half the bond debt due to the former. This was one of the main causes which had operated on the price of India bonds at the present moment. The Hon. ,teniber fur Kilkenny, as well as the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, had adverted to the state of the unfunded debt, but they had omitted to take into account the amount of reduction of the funded debt which had taken place of late years.—(Hear, hear.) There had been, as he need hardly mention, an s increase of twenty millions to the 'dela in consequence of the slavery abolition measure, but at the sense time he had it to state, that during the period which had or. curred since he had been connected with the Treasury, namely, since 1831, up to the present time, 'a considerable reduction of the debt had' yearly taken place. In the year ending January, 1832, the amount of debereduced was ,673,0001.;2 in the next year, in con sequence of a great deficiency of income, only 5,6001. was paid off; in the year following the sum was 1,023,0001.; the next year 1,776,0001.; and the next 1,270,0001.; and in the year ending January, 1837, 1,500,000/., making a total of about ten millions of debt paid off within that period.—(Hear, hear.) Hon. Gentlemen, when they adverted to an increase of debt occasioned by the necessity of circumstances and of the time:, should not forget to give Government credit tor the reduc tions which had been made.—(Hear, hear.) Hon. Gentlemen, too, whin they entered upon calculations as to still further reductions cf expenditure, must take care that they were not led into serious mistakes. So Car from thinkirtA with them that Government had not gone far enough in reducing the expense of establishments, especially of those connected with the coll e ction of the revenue, he would be bold enough to say that Isis doubt rather was whether they hail not gone somewhat too far in many instances. Taking the case of the Excise Laws, to which the Hon. Member for Falkirk had referred, he could state that the number and nature of the complaints which he received from trades eeople and others subject to the operation of these laws rendered it ques. tlonable whether many of the persons employed in the excise were not so slightly remunerated as to subject them to the temptation of abusing their offire.—(Hear, hear.) He had likewise reason to believe, from re. presentations constantly made to him, that in many important places the establishment for the collection of customs was hardly sufficient fur the purpose, and he was sure that on reflection every Hon. Member would agree with him that it would be as mistaken an economy to reduce the establishment for either of these services below the just proportion as it would be the height of absurdity. Propter vitam, viver,di perdere causes. Measures, however, were either in progress or in active preparation which would greatly improve the administration of these departments. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had been reproached by an Hon. Gentleman opposite with having, in 1836, misled the House and the country by exaggerated calculations of coming prosperity. The Hon. Member had herein shown himself to be strangely deficient in memory, for it so happened that in 1836 his (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) words were so decidedly those of guarded caution that he was taxed by the Hon. Gentleman himself—the lion. Gentleman who now charged him with having given on that occasion an inflated view of the revenue._ he was absolutely taxed by that Hon. Gentleman with speaking too despondingly as to the financial state of the country.—(Hear.) The question of savings' banks had been introduced, and he (the Chancel_ lor of the Exchequer) could not but express how rejoiced he had been op this t i h m a i t ior h t e an ,, t ,ou su ld bje n c e t , . , — er ( c H o e n a t r e . m ) or sane. to hear the observations which had f a ll en f ro m the Right Hon. Gen . t'm lightedn ol to contempla t e e e was de_ tion any plan of economy involving any reducticn of the rate of interest now paid to depositors in savings' betake—(lcer, hear.) If ever there was a subject which ought to be approached with the greatest dis trust and the greatest caution, it was anything like a meddling with the interest which parties were entitled to receive on deposits in savings' banks.— ( Hear, hear.) The taking any step which should enable any person, however mischievous or misguided, to say that Government was about to be economical at the expense of the poor, would entail greater loss on the country than could be compensated by any saving which could be effected by a reduction of the rate of interest on the deposits in these banks.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Kil. kenny had reproached him with not having gone sufficiently into de tail', and more particularly that he had not gone into such details as the subject of the trade with America, and the American commer. cial crisis ; but, though most unquestionably they had had very con siderable influence on British commerce, yet he had not conceived this the proper time or occasion for discussing the measures of President Jackson or Mr. Nicholas Biddle.—(Hear, hear, heir.) Ile could not make this passing allusion to America, without paying a most deserved tribute of admiration to the conduct of the American merchants and people throughout the whole of the unhappy crisis re. ferred to, in reference to their British engagements.—(Loud cheers.) That conduct had been such as to maintain America proudly in her high caste among the great nations of the earth—(Hear) —and to pre. serve her credit in the fullest degree unimpaired with this country.— (Cheers.) The merchants of America had throughout made the most merle efforts,—(Hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman went on to observe, that the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite had indulged his imagination in a long series of contingencies, various enough, if they occurred, to baffle all human calculations. It would therefore be quite absurd to con template them at all : all that a Chancellor of the Exchequer could do in cases like the present was to make the best calculation he could, founded on the ordinary course of human events. The accounts given by the Bank of its situation were far different from the very discou. rasing view which had been given by the Hon. Member for Coventry. He should, however, reserve what he had to say on this momentous subject until the period when it should come before the House in the mo tion of the Honourable Member for Kilkenny. lie could only assure the House that there was no i n dividual who viewed the subject with more seriousness than he did, or was more anxious to have it well and wisely considered; but he must say that he had invariably observed, in the discussions on this subject, the anxiety in various quarters to dis cuss favourite themes, rather than to deal with the absolute facts of the case, and to act according to those recta—(heer, hear, hear.) If Honourable Gentlemen looked back from 1825 to the present time, they would remember that, on every occasion in which a discussion respecting banking occurred, some new theory had invariably been started as a solution of difficulties, each novelty of this suit as invaria bly yieleing place to a successor. In the time of Lord Liverpool, for instance, joint-stock banks were held foith as the infallible remedy for everything. Joint-stock banks were instituted, and soon after the outcry was that all the mischiefs in the country were owing to joint-stock hanks. By anti by the cry was that the monopoly enjoyed under the Bank charter was the great source of all the mischief, and it was insisted that this monopoly should be crushed, for that a free trade in banking wee as necessary and as proper as a free trade in baking. The charter was withdrawn, and now again the cry was in fa vour of a single batik, for abo.ishing all competition and giving the Bank of England unlimited control over the whole currency of the country. — (Hear, hear.) He did not advert to these circumstances as an argu ment on the question, but simply for the purpose of entreating Hon. Gentlemen, when they came to the discussion of the subject, not to dis cuss any particular remedy or supposed nostrum, but to view the subject at large, in all its great relations to the commerce and manufactures of the country. There was no state of currency or of the standard of value which could protect the community from the alternations of commercial vibrations. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by again thanking the House for the indulgence it had exhibited in his favour. Sir J. R. REID did not rise fur the purpose of making any observa tions in reference to the subject of banking. Hi s views on this hit. portant question he should attempt to explain when the question came substantively before the House. He rose in reference to what had been paid with respect to the American crisis, to express his feeling that the conduct of the American merchants during that crisis had been most honourable to them.—(Hear, hear.) To meet their engagements they had unhesitatingly made the greatest sacrifices of their means; he knew of many cases in which American merchants had maae sacrifices of tell, twenty, and thirty per cent., to enable them to pay their debts. — (Hear.) He had often wished for an opportunity of making this statement, and he felt satisfied that when these debts were paid (and they were for the most part in rapid progress of liquids tion), the confidence which had hitherto happily existed between this country and America would continue unimpaired. The Hon. Member for Coventry had observed, in reference to Exchequer Bills, that he THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1888. thought there was no Gentleman in the House who would state that • money could not be .easily raised on them at the rate of lid. per cent per day interest, He (Sir J. Reid), for one, could say that he believed it to be totally impossible for any man to raise money to any extent at that rate. The bankers had been most unjustly attacked; they were a body of men who did all that they could to promote the best interests of the community, but in spite of all their exertions they were ma ligned, and all they had to do, therefore, was to bear the attacks made on them as best they might. Mr. EASTHOPE was greatly surprised at hearing the statement made by the Honourable Baronet the Governor of the Bank of England as to the present rate of interest on Exchequer Bills. He himself ac cidentally knew of a large concern, which having had occasion to bor row money on Exchequer bills had done so at the rate of two per cent. (Hear, hear.) Entertaining the objections he did to the present rate of interest on Exchequer bills, he had watched with very considerable curl osity--indeed, he might call it anxiety—to discover, if possible, on what grounds the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Eechequer could justify the present rate of interest on Exchequer bills, in reference to its alleged effect on the extent of speculations; but he had derived no factory information whatever on the subject from any part of the Right Honourable Gentleman's speech.—(Hear, (rear.) How therete of in'eres ton Eecheqtter bills could have any sort of cennection with the protection oC the public from excessive speculations continued as much a matter of surprise to him (Mr. Easthope) as ever. He greatly wished that the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer had directed his o'lsek rations morel to the interesting speech of the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for the University of Cambridge, a speech for which he (Mr. Easthope) begged to say, he most cordially thanked that Right lion. Gentleman, leoking upon it as he did as one of the most in. strisetive and practical speeches he had ever heard—a speech meriting the attention of Members of the House, and one the merits of which would be highly appreciated Out of doors —(Hear, hear.) There was one point on which, of all others, he had expected the Right Honourable Gentleman near him would have dwelt, namely, the present alarming amount of the unfunded debt. If the Right Honourable Gentleu.an was correct in now refusing t,reduce the rate of interest on Exchequer bilis, lest this should induce an increase of dangerous speculator), this must be an argument for lessening the amount of the unfunded debt; but for his (Mr. Eastliope'e;' pert, he could not understand any eon. neetion between the rate of Exe!iequer bid interest and the pro tection of the public from excessive epeTtlii&oll• The Honour able Member for Coventry had stated that a person to po,iliings, sscss a hundred pounds Exchequer Bills must give scent; to ei ghty shillings, :onclusis a e being more than a year's interest ; this was in itself pretty evidence of the interest being higher than the Money-market require.. it to Ise, and higher than the public need pay in order to protect the Exchequer from any inconvenient application for repayment of the prin. cipal. With respect to the rate of interest being kept up so high as to make the premium 70s. to SOs. per cent. in order to protect the public aeamst excessive speculation, it was wholly unintelligible. If the bete. rest were lower, the premium wou'd be lower, but the quantity or amount in circulation would remain the same. That could be no protection which merely put money into the pockets of the fortunate holders of Exchequer Bills.—(hear, hear.) But of all things he wished to direct the Right Hon. Gentleman's attention to that subject, which it was essential . should be brought clearly before the House, namely, the alarming amount of the unfunded debt, and he wes 'post anxious to understand what were the reasons which induced the Right Honourable Gentleman to keep this debt up at a time which appeared most favourable far reducing it. If the Right Hon. Gentleman was justified by a prospective reference to excessive specu. lations in keeping up the interest on Exchequer Bills, this was a reason why he should reduce the amount of the unfunded debt, which would be the most effective protection to the public Treasury against some of the evils which generally followed excessive speculation. There was now an unfunded debt of 44 millions. As to the savings' banks, he (Mr. Easthope) quite concurred in all that had been said as to the propri ety of keeping up the pseseut rate of interest on the deposits in those banks. Everything which had a tendency to encourage the humbler classes in habits of industry and provident management should slow, especially that the New Poor Law Act had come into opera tion, be warmly supported; but this had nothing to do with the question immediately under consideration.—(Hear, hear.) What. ever justification the Right Honourable Gentleman might have conceived himself to have derived from 'the crisis of 1836, both in respect to raising the interest and keeping up the amount of the un funded debt, the danger was past, and he could no longer have the slightest pretext either for keeping up this alarming amount of un. funded debt, or continuing the high rate of the interest on Exchequer bills at a time when money was so cheap and so plentiful as it was at present.—(Hear, hear.) Surely if any prospective fears justified the Right Ilonourable Gentleman in keeping up the interest of Exchequer bills, that wins a reason for reducing their amount; and when so reduced, which might now be done with advantage, there could then be no pos_ sible difficulty in reducing the interest on the remainder. The Right Honourable Gentleman was by his present course incurring a perilous re sponsibility, which lie would at a future time be, ill able to meet, if he were overtaken by any of those calamitous . changes to which nations are liable,—(Hear, hear.) Sir J. R. Rain and Mr. WILLIAMS explained. Mr. A. YATES observed that it was the vicious system of paper_ money in America which hail caused ,nuch of the distress and difficulty in which both countries had been involved. The resolution was film agreed to, znd the house having resumed, Mr BERNAL reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday. PRISONS (SCOTLAND) BILL On the further consideration in Committee of the Report of this Bill, Mr. COLQUHOUN moved an amendment, to the effect that nine persons should be appointed to form the Board, from the nine counties in Scotland which contained the largest prisons, instead of their being appointed by the Government. Mr. F. MAULE thought the altera' ion proposed would not be wise, but he would not object to nine persons being appointed irhstend of seven, as provided by the Bill, the two additional individuals being taken from Glasgow. After a few words from Mr. R. Steuart, Mr. Pryme, Mr. Hawes, and Mr. Hume, The LORD ADVOCATE said that it appeared to him that the amendment of the Honourable Member for Kilmarnock (Mr. Colquhoun) was wholly inadmissible. The Committee divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment 50 Against it Majority against the amendment —2B The clause was then agreed to. On clause 4 being proposed, having reference to the appointment of a Secretary to the Commission, Captain GORDON moved that it be omitted. The Committee'then divided— For the clause Against it 4O Majority —2B The clause was then agreed to. Clause 13 was agreed to with verbal amendments. The House resumed. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the House at one o'clock adjourned till Mc nday. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S-OFFICE, MAT 18, 1838.
